he wants a woman
to take something from him
to give herself up so much
that she could take the last realities of him
the last facts
the last physical facts
physical and unbearable
~D.H.Lawrence (Women in Love)

one of the largest gifts you can give her
is your capacity to open her heart
when it is closed
your masculine thunderbolt of love can brighten her darkness
in a way she can’t do for herself
shout at her louder than you ever have
and then kiss her passionately
press your belly into her until she melts
move her body into your body
open her heart with your humor
penetrate her closure with your fearless presence
open her again and again and again
she could do it by herself
but if she could grow more by herself
than by receiving your gifts
perhaps she shouldn’t be with you
~David Deida (The Way of the Superior Man)
